Reunion Party Games
Family Reunions:
Dress up Contest: Divide up into teams and choose one person to be the
dress-up "dummy." Use old clothes, scarves, glasses, shoes, and anything else
that you can place on another person's body to dress up your "dummy." Make your
"dummy" as funny and creative as possible. The funniest "dummy" is the winner.
Know Your Family: Put all of the names of your relatives in a hat and have
everyone draw a name. They must discreetly interview that person sometime
during the party and find out one secret that no one knows about them. After
everyone has had time to do the interviews, gather the group together and have
them share the secret they learned. The rest of the relatives must write down on a
piece of paper who they think each secret is about. The person who guesses the
most people correctly wins a prize.
Likes and Dislikes: Get to know your extended family even better. Ask everyone to
write down 5 of their likes and 5 of their dislikes on index cards. (Help the younger
ones by writing for them.) At mealtime when everyone is gathered together, read
the cards one at a time and have everyone try to guess which relative the
information belongs to.
Scavenger Hunt: This is a game that is usually relatively inexpensive and
time-consuming (good for both kids and parents). Give the partygoers clues that
take them from place to place. Perhaps this game could begin at the house of the
party host/hostess, and the final clue could lead to the party destination. The team
that arrives at the final destination first wins! (Or instead of a Scavenger Hunt have
kids solve a Detective's Case. Set out clues all over the yard and have kids collect
them. Then the kids have to figure out what the clues mean. You might have them
find clues to making a pizza, building a scarecrow, or solving a puzzle.)
Crazy Olympics: Have a Crazy Olympics party and let the kids play silly games,
such as the Backwards Crab Walk, Blind (folded) Leapfrog, Impossible Obstacle
Course, Frisbee Golf, etc. Add a few ridiculous relay races for extra fun (pass the
eggs, carry cotton on a spoon, one-legged race, and so on). The kids can also
play Silly Sports. For example, they can golf with their feet instead of a golf club, or
play baseball with a broom instead of a bat. They can even run the bases
backwards.

High School Reunions:
"The Way We Were": Have everyone come to the reunion dressed as they did in
high school. Whoever looks the most like they did in high school wins a prize.
Baby Match-up: Have everyone who was in the graduating class (whether or not
they are attending the reunion) send in their baby picture. As people walk in to the
reunion, they will receive a numbered piece of paper with blank spaces next to
each number. There will be a large collage of baby pictures with numbers next to
each one. Let them guess who the baby is in each picture. Whoever guesses the
most correctly wins a prize.
Lip sync/Karaoke Contest: Sing or lip sync to your favorite tunes from the year
of/decade around your graduation (70s, 80s, 90s etc.). Prize goes to the best a
